Thesaurus chronologiae : in quo universa temporum & historiarum series in omni vitae genere ponitur ob oculos
A 1624 Latin chronology text by Johann Heinrich Alsted, printed at Herborn in Nassau, aimed at scholars and students of history and time-reckoning. Its pictures are woodcut ornamental headpieces, a decorative strapwork band, and an engraved bookplate-style title cartouche with a figure seated among foliage, showing how early modern printers framed text with dense scrollwork, grotesque masks, and symmetrical arabesques that a designer could borrow for borders, headers, and emblem-like frames.
